TOM AND MONICA, GREAT TO SEE
YOU.
THANK YOU
>> NOW THOSE MOST INTERESTED IN
FURTHER REGULATING AND GRABBING
YOUR GUNS ARE CONSTANTLY
REVEALING HOW LITTLE THEY
ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT FIREARMS.
NOW, TAKE RHODE ISLAND REP DAVID
SICILY.
>> WITH THIS, DEPICTED HERE,
WHEN THE TEST HERE TURNS THIS
WEAPON INTO AN AUTOMATIC WEAPON,
THIS BUMP, IT BECOMES A BUMP
STOCK.
>> HE JUST DESCRIBED THE ARM
BRACE, WHICH IS USED BY PEOPLE
WHO HAVE A HANDICAP, TO HELP
FIRE A PISTOL, HE JUST DESCRIBED
IT AS A BUMP STOCK.
THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY’RE
TRYING TO BAN.
LIKE IF THEY COULD USE WIKIPEDIA
OR A PICTURE OR SOMETHING HERE
REALLY QUICKLY TO UNDERSTAND
THAT WHAT SHE’S OFFERING HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH A BUMP STOCK.
>> Laura: JOINING ME NOW IS
CONGRESSMAN TOM MASSIE THE MAN
YOU JUST SAW EXPLAINING THE
BASICS OF A GUN STRUCTURE TO
THAT DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE.
CONGRESSMAN HAVE THEY FIGURED
OUT YET WHAT THEY’RE TRYING TO
BAN, OTHER THAN SAYING WEAPONS
OF WAR, WHICH IS A TEDIOUS
PHRASE.
>> THEY HAVE SUCH ZELE TO BAN
EVERYTHING AND MY COL WE SHALL
MICHELLE OFFERED, I JUST WANT TO
MAKE SURE YOU’RE BANNING THIS
DEVICE USED BY DISABLED PEOPLE
TO FIRE A PISTOL AND THAT’S WHEN
THEY SAID IT WAS A MACHINE GUN.
LOOK, THIS IS A TREND.
WE COULD LAUGH MORE AT THEIR
IGNORANCE BUT HERE’S THE PROBLEM
LAURA.
THEIR IGNORANCE CAUSES THEM TO
WRITE BILLS THAT WILL COVER LAW
ABIDEN CITIZENS.
THEY WROTE A BILL A COUPLE WEEKS
AGO AND PASS IT TO COVER GUN
TRAFFICKERS BUT I POINTED OUT TO
THEM IT WOULD COVER VICTIMS OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IF THEY MERELY
BORROWED A GUN FROM THEIR
NEIGHBOR.
IN THE SAME BILL THAT THEY
PASSED LAST WEEK THAT CICILLINE
WAS TALKING ABOUT, THEY’RE
TRYING TO BAN BUMP STOCKS BUT IT
WILL COVER A MECHANISM THAT
LIGHTENS THE TRIGGER PULL, MAKES
YOUR GUN EASIER TO FIRE.
TIME AND TIME AGAIN THEY’RE OVER
LEGISLATING I WOULD SAY BECAUSE
OF THEIR IGNORANCE.
SO I’M TORN.
DO YOU EDUCATE THEM OR LET THEM
FLOP AROUND.
THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THEY FLOP
AROUND THEY BAN EVERYTHING.
>> Laura: TONIGHT ON NBC,
MERRICK GARLAND THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL, CONGRESSMAN ISSUED A
WARNING.
WATCH THIS.
>> THESE VERY CHEAP DEVICES THAT
CAN BE MADE AT HOME, THAT CAN
TRANSFORM A SEMIAUTOMATIC RIFLE
OR SEMIAUTOMATIC TO.
>> YOU JUST SAW A DEMONSTRATION
WHERE A SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPON
BECAME A MACHINE BEGUN
ESSENTIALLY.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Laura: YOUR RESPONSE.
THEY’RE COMING FOR THE GUNS, NO
DOUBT ABOUT IT.
>> YOU SAW THERE THEY’RE GOING
TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT IF A
CHEAP THING CAN CONVERT A
SEMIAUTOMATIC INTO A FULLY
AUTOMATIC THEN THEY HAVE TO BAN
ALL SEMIAUTOMATICS AND THAT’S
WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
THEY’RE CALLING THESE WEAPONS OF
WAR LAURA.
SO I OFFERED AN AMENDMENT THAT
SAID LET’S MAKE SURE WE DON’T
GIVE WEAPONS OF WAR TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND TO
THE USDA, WHAT POSSIBLE USE
COULD THEY HAVE FOR THOSE IN
THEIR MISSION AND THE DEMOCRATS
ARGUED THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION NEEDS WHAT THEY’RE
CALLING WEAPONS OF WAR.
OF COURSE THEY’RE NOT WEAPONS OF
WAR, BUT THAT’S THE WAY THEY
WANT TO, YOU KNOW, VILIFY COMMON
GUN OWNERS.
>> Laura: WELL, THEY THINK IF
THEY OWN THE LANGUAGE, THEY’LL
OWN THE ARGUMENT, RIGHT?
SO A NINE MILLIMETER, YOU’RE
SAYING A NINE MILL MATTER A
CLOCK 33 OR 19 OR 17, THAT
ULTIMATELY IS WHAT THEY WANT TO
BAN, RIGHT?
THAT’S ULTIMATELY WHERE THIS IS
GOING.
>> WELL, YOUR HONOR, BIDEN
CALLED IT THE LUNG BLOWER.
THE 223 ROUND IS THE ONE THAT
THEY’RE REALLY VILIFYING NOW IN
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
BUT I POINTED OUT THEY’RE NOT
BANNING A 30 ODD SIX WHICH IS
MORE THAN TWICE AS POWERFUL AS
THE 223.
IT’S NOT ABOUT THE BALLISTIC OR
THE LETHALITY OF THE GUN IT’S
ABOUT HOW IT LOOKS.
THEY WANT TO BAN A MINI 14 IN
ONE FORM BUT NOT BAN IT IN
ANOTHER FORM.
I HAD TO SHOW THEM IN A PICTURE.
THEY WERE BANNING AND UNBANNING
THE SAME GUN.
>> Laura: THE PROBLEM IS YOU
CAN’T TRUST THEM OR THEIR
MOTIVES, THEY HATE THE
